Density – a relationship of mass and volume

Students will be able to describe density and compare the densities of various materials using their masses and volumes.

Content statements:

  • Density is the amount of matter filling the object's space.
  • Adding mass to an object without changing its volume, increases the object's density.
  • Objects that have a large mass and small volume have a high density.
  • Objects that have a small mass and a large volume have a low density.
